Inter American University of Puerto Rico School of Law

AN OPTIONAL EXPLANATORY ESSAY WITH A REAL CEILING -- and it is the only piece of writing Inter American asks for anywhere. In English: if you understand that there is information about your academic or personal history, disability, or social or economic condition that merits being reported to the Admissions Committee for its consideration, you may present an essay on the matter. The limit: 'que no exceda de dos páginas a doble espacio, tamaño carta' -- not exceeding two pages, double-spaced, letter size. 'No exceda de' is a ceiling phrase under docs/CURATION.md, so page_limit 2 is recorded without a judgment call. FOUR SUBJECTS ARE NAMED and they are all explanatory rather than promotional: academic history, personal history, disability, and social or economic condition. This is an addendum in substance -- context for the committee -- not a personal statement, which is why it is recorded under this type. NO PERSONAL STATEMENT, RESUME OR LETTER-OF-RECOMMENDATION REQUIREMENT IS PUBLISHED ANYWHERE on the admissions or Juris Doctor pages. Under docs/CURATION.md those types are omitted rather than recorded as absent -- the school has made no claim either way, and the university's own notice that pages are being revised for federal compliance makes an incomplete listing the likelier explanation. An applicant should expect the LSAC application to ask for materials this file cannot list. NO CHARACTER-AND-FITNESS QUESTION SET, disclosure standard or bar-admission warning is published either.

THE LSAT IS THE TEST, though the school states it obliquely rather than as a requirement line -- it publishes its own median alongside the GPA ('Media 2025. Promedio 3.39 LSAT 144') and addresses LSAC test accommodations directly. NO GRE AND NO JD-NEXT ROUTE is mentioned anywhere on the admissions or Juris Doctor pages, and the 2025 509 prints a single LSAT row covering all 205 first-years with no GRE or JD-Next row. Under docs/CURATION.md the site's silence is not itself a denial, but the filing shows no alternative in use. ACCOMMODATIONS ARE THE APPLICANT'S BUSINESS WITH LSAC, NOT THE SCHOOL'S, and Inter American says so plainly -- a useful warning about where responsibility sits: 'El Law School Admission Council ofrece sus pruebas a las personas que tengan alguna condición que amerite acomodo razonable. Toda persona que necesite este servicio debe realizar los trámites con estas agencias. Nuestra Facultad no será responsable ni intervendrá con estas agencias por sus requisitos' -- LSAC offers its tests to people with a condition warranting reasonable accommodation; anyone needing this service must make arrangements with those agencies; our Faculty will not be responsible for, nor intervene with, those agencies regarding their requirements. Separately, the school does provide accommodations once enrolled, naming a contact. NO MINIMUM SCORE AND NO VALIDITY WINDOW is published, and the selection standard is stated only in the broadest terms: 'La selección de nuevos estudiantes estará basada en la totalidad de los datos ofrecidos en la solicitud de admisión' -- selection will be based on the totality of the data offered in the application.

The Juris Doctor is described as a graduate programme for bachelor's-degree holders: 'Juris Doctor es un programa diseñado para estudiantes graduados de bachillerato que buscan una opción de estudios graduados que les permita adquirir los conocimientos y desarrollarse en el campo del derecho.' THE PUBLISHED ACCOUNT OF THE APPLICATION IS SPARE, and that is a genuine gap rather than an omission in this file's research: no CAS registration instruction, no transcript instruction, no LSAC school code and no minimum GPA appears on the admissions or Juris Doctor pages. The school publishes its median GPA (3.39 for 2025) but not how it is computed or where transcripts go. CAS is recorded as required because it is compulsory at any ABA-approved school and the school's own 509 reports through LSAC categories, but the specifics an applicant would normally read here are absent -- see the site-wide revision notice quoted in the deadline entry. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS need immigration status settled before starting: 'Personas procedentes de países extranjeros: Deben tener autorización para estudios o la visa para estudiantes F1 aprobada' -- persons from foreign countries must have study authorisation or an approved F1 student visa. COMBINED-DEGREE APPLICANTS APPLY TWICE: 'Los Programas Especiales, especialmente los programas para obtener grados combinados con el Juris Doctor, tienen requisitos de admisión adicionales... los interesados deben solicitar admisión simultánea al Recinto de la Universidad Interamericana que interese y a nuestra Facultad de Derecho.'

A $63.00 FEE, CERTIFIED IN THE FILING AND NOT STATED ON THE SITE. The 2025 509 certifies 'Application fee $63.00'; the admissions and Juris Doctor pages were both fetched and neither mentions a fee in either direction. Recorded as required true on the filing, with the site's silence noted. NO WAIVER PROCESS IS PUBLISHED. THE REAL MONEY COMES AT ADMISSION, AND IT INCLUDES A MANDATORY PREPARATORY COURSE -- which is unusual and is the most consequential cost fact in this file: 'Todo solicitante que resulte admitido tendrá que pagar la reservación de asiento y el cursillo preparatorio dentro del plazo que se le indique en la carta de admisión. El costo por la reservación de asiento es de $125.00 y $485.00 por el pago del cursillo preparatorio' -- every admitted applicant must pay the seat reservation and the preparatory course within the period indicated in the admission letter; the seat reservation costs $125.00 and the preparatory course $485.00. So accepting a place here costs $610 rather than a deposit alone, and the preparatory course is not presented as optional. A TUITION GUARANTEE PROGRAMME IS CERTIFIED (the 509 field reads Y), which only MC Law and Wilmington also do among the schools in this batch. Tuition is certified per credit at $535 with $1,175 in fees.
